Is there a way to auto-force the shader re-installation?

As title says. Verifying Steam doesn't so it. They only way I've seen to do it so far is re-installing the game. And with my 80mbs download I don't wanna try that again.

After looking again, I think the key file responsible for shader cache would be C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\OblivionRemastered_PCD3D_SM6.upipelinecache, though clearing any of the other files mentioned like log files and such shouldn't hurt.

I don't know why research and experimentation is even needed to recompile shaders or why it isn't automatic or made simpler, but there clearly isn't enough documentation online about it.

Nah weirdly it isn't that. I deleted that and tried it before posting here.

You're earlier comment and malus lupus both forced the game to re-compile the shaders, but alas. Still having shader issues. I'm done with the game for now, will try again with patches or maybe try something from Nexus.

I appreciate the help from people though ^^

Bit of a long shot but do you use OneDrive? Just wonder whether that could be causing backup and sync issues with the shader cache or save files during play. If so try temporarily disabling it or applying an exclusion to the My Games / Oblivion folder.

Nah I don't use OneDrive. Cheers for suggestion though.

I don't know if this is the official way, but Deleting Save_Settings.sav from C:\Users\%username%\Documents\My Games\Oblivion Remastered\Saved\SaveGames will prompt your game to recompile shaders the next time it launches. You will need to customize video settings and preferences again, but should address any performance issues you may be experiencing I've had to do this after updating my graphics driver.

This won't delete any save games, though it is in the same folder as all your save games, so don't delete those lol.

Delete everything except

Oblivion Remastered\Saved\Config\Windows
and
Oblivion Remastered\Saved\SaveGames

This way you keep all your settings and savegames and it will rebuild the shaders.

As I am testing mods frequently I always delete the shader cache to make sure.

Thank you! This fixed all the crashing I was having and was able to keep saves and config data. Much appreciated
